Thanks guys. I actually performed this experiment a little while ago and I found that as the final polaroid film was introduced the double slit interference pattern vanished; however, I still observed a single slit diffraction pattern. If the wave function collapses completely once the...

Lets say that I were to perform the double slit experiment so that at anyone time only a single photon passes through the double slit at a time. Now let's say that I were now to place a polaroid film over each of the slits so that each piece of the film was orthogonal to the other. Now in front...

Thanks for the tip. I just got home after working on it and yes it does just require tedious algebra. Not difficult otherwise.

Homework Statement Determine the transmission coefficient for a rectangular barrier. Treat seperately the three cases E<Vo, E>Vo, and E=Vo.Homework Equations V(x)= +Vo if -a<xa V(x)= 0 otherwise Transmission coefficient=(amplitude of transmited wave)2/(amplitude of incoming wave)2 I am also...
